They lost to Dan- bury and beat Fairilold. Greenwich has won their two starts from Fair- ileld and Donbury. This contest will determine the leadership of the league. It is believed that the game will be one of t best played in the league so-far this season. The lo- i boys realize they must beat reenwich in order to capture the league honors again this season. The Greenwich team won the championship of the basketball con- ference and are anxious to make a“ clean sweep in athletics. Coach Ferol Green will probably start Bill Sullivan against the Greenwich team. Sullivan has been pitching steady ball all season. Coleman Chernok also is ready to take the mound. There will be a few changes in the lineup. it is likely that. .lim Vasalle will be as- signed to cover third base in this game. Vaaalle played a great game last week against the Trade school. Although Vasalle is not a polished infielder he can scoop up grounders with the best of them and he has a good fast throw to the bases. The other three infield positions probably will be the same. Mike Livinsteln at first. has lost his old batting eye. Mike started the sea- son like a house ours. but since then he has missed connecting with the ball more than he has hit it. lrv- ing Fools at second and Fred Hnrt at short are sure of their positions.

Babe Ruth is mighty popular with this fellow ball players. which after inll is the true test. They are glad to see him come back so strong.

Once a fed for the masculine sex. trying to swim the channel has be- come a habit with the fair ones. Already two of America's best wo- men svvlmmers. Gertrude Ederie and Helen Wainwright. have announced their intention of trying to make the diflICult swim.

O O 0 015mm Task. Playing a sun field is one of the most difficult Jobs in baseball. for at least. two reasons. First. it calls for unusual judg- ment on every ball hit. also the ability to again pick up the flight of the ball after you have once lost it in the gun. Second. it places a severe strain en the eyes and naturally handicaps a player in his batting. I have heard star players express the opinion that playing a sun field lessens a play. er's batting average at least. 30 points. I doubt if I ever saw a more fin- ished sun-fielder than Harry Hooper. who roundpd out his big league career last season as a member of the Chicago White Sex, For 1: years he played the diffi- cult sun garden in Boston and fol- lowed this up with five seasons in the trying sun field at Comiskey k in Chicago. . ”invery time I lose a fly ball in the sun. I think of Harry Hooper and what a marvel he was." remarked Harry Hellman. champion batsman of the American League. to we re- cently. ”Like all of no I have seen Hooper imi- fly balls. but I never saw him stagger around under one like most of us." » Danbury and Brewster have yet to name their unwind in the New York-Connecticut semi-pro league which will open MCI!- ‘I'lio' four other clubs have ob. tained officiah for the season.
